For the 2004 Thomas C2. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Thomas been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Thomas dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Parking brake

Summary
Certain 2004 and 2005 thomas built C2 school buses and freightliner business class M2 heavy trucks manufactured between June 2004 and March 2005. The anchor/pivot bolt supplied with the park brake is defective and could fatigue fracture prematurely, resulting in the park brake failing to apply.
Consequence
If the park brake anchor bolt fatigues and ultimately fractures, the park brake may not function and there may be no indication to the driver of the malfunction when the park brake is set. This may cause the vehicle to roll away without warning, which could result in a crash.
Remedy
Freightliner will notify its owners and inspect and replace defective anchor bolts free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
